New York-based Greats continues its run of form this year with an extension to its Royale series, and the introduction of the Royale Chukka silhouette. The shoe’s journey starts in Civitanova, Italy (known in the trade as “shoe valley”), where Margom soles are paired with full-grain Italian suede uppers. Vachetta calfskin lining and a plush footbed mean comfort is paramount with the Royale Chukka. Waxed laces provide a hard-wearing but premium edge, while Greats’ signature double bar tack finishes the silhouette off, leaving us with a solid blend of quality, craft and refined design.
